Hi. 1.9dg
I have an oil leak from what appears to be a core plug on the rear face of the block. It's near to the bottom of the dipstick tube. I tried to post a pic of it but failed!
Question: Is it a core plug and are there any problems replacing it. Any advice much appreciated Many thanks.

Thought core plugs were allied to the water system Mr M,I'll have a look at mine in the morning, no doubt someone will give you a positive answer by then.

Thanks mate. Blue is as well as ever. Has his moments but generally all is good. We just realised we've had him for about 8 years now!!! Thanks again.

Deffo core plugs in a petrol WBX oil system, no idea about oil burners.

This is the link to the pic of the part in a Haynes Manual. I circled it in yellow. Sorry, can't remember how to post a pic properly. I am almost convinced it's simply a question of prising out the old leaking core plug and tapping in the new one with a smear of sealer. Am I correct?
